Default Boating rig for newsgroup boatless

Here's a rig that shouldn't intimidate the growing group of boatless posters in here.

Do you think those who are currently boatless are so because they're intimidated by boats?

Well John, I'd say they've lost interest in boating, in favor of some other pursuit.

Several of the right-wing "frequent posters" here haven't owned a boat
for years.

Well, that's true of the other side also, but I don't think Don had any political bull**** ideas in
his post.

In Harry's myopic view, anyone who criticizes the former *do nothing*
democratic administration and the current ***** everything up*
administration, is automatically right-wing and boatless. Harry is a
trained monkey who is unable to think on his own.

I would say that's probably a very true statement. For the money that little boat I had was costing
- depreciation, insurance, maintenance, storage, etc., I can rent a boat for several weeks a year.
Having an extremely handy storage place, like your driveway, would tend to make boating a more
frequent activity.

The last time I sold a boat, I waited about 15 years before getting another. Who knows, maybe this
time it'll be only ten years. We're already planning a weeks vacation with the grandkids at Smith
Mountain Lake next July. I'll rent a pontoon boat for the week or maybe a ski boat.

Of course, if you're not using it, it's best to sell off a depreciating asset.
I did the same with my Sandpiper 565 mini-cruiser sailboat 6 years ago.
I still miss a sailboat but would have to buy one set up for easy solo rigging, launching, sailing and retrieving if I wanted to get back at it.
Did get a bit of the urge at February's boat show which had a new ComPac dealer showing his products.
A couple of the cat boats had me dreaming and now I could tow them with the Highlander.
